15. Compute angle O shown in Fig. 2Bd; determine the strike

of the vein, using Eq. 49
Thus, 6 = 180° + <£i - <fe = 14O0OO'; m = tan ft/tan /S1 = 0.6406; tan O1 = (m - cos
140°00')/sin 14O0OO'; 0t = 65°26'; O2 = 74°34' The bearing of the horizontal projection
of the dip line = ^1 - ^1 = S61°22'E; therefore, the strike of the vein = N28°38'E.
16. Compute the dip a of the vein
By Eq. 48, tan a = tan /B1IcOs O1; a = 52°12'; or tan a = tan /32/cos O2; a = 52°14'. This
slight discrepancy between the two computed values falls within the tolerance of these
calculations. Use the average value a = 52° 13'.
17. Establish the reiationship between the true thickness t
of a vein and its apparent thickness f' as measured along a
skew borehole
Refer to Figs. 27 and 28. Let 8 = angle of inclination of borehole; y = angle in plan be-
tween downward-sloping segments of borehole and dip line of vein. Then
